Well, sure. But did it not occur to anybody involved to have the lady lying in a bed for the video? I mean. Her being in a bed might not reinforce nor negate the song's meaning, but the hook is "spent the day in bed", not "spent the day on a couch."
I'd rather no lying down at all than the near...
Taken it literally? The song is about spending the day in bed. It's not exactly ambiguous or even very poetic, metaphorical, or whatever.
Not to be negative, but hearing the song without Morrissey's voice kind of made me realize it's...not a very good song. Take away his performance and...
I don't give a shit about chart positions. It is not an indicator of talent. I have friends who write songs better than anything on any chart and nobody has ever heard of them. It is absolutely, utterly meaningless to me how popular something manages to get. That is all right place, right time...
I find Morrissey's obsession with chart numbers to be really bizarre. Half of his autobiography is filled with this stuff. Morrissey fans don't care if a song is popular. We just have the songs that mean something to us. Financial success or however much a mainstream audience accepts a song is...
Why not? Everything is comparable. It's that kind of comparing that led to my decision not to buy tickets for Morrissey's shows this week in NYC. Because if he's not going to make the show entertaining for me as other artists I am a fan of who put in effort consistently do, why should I spend...
Well...but isn't he though? His band certainly is. That's literally their job.
I don't understand your posts. No one is debating whether Morrissey himself likes his own setlist.
I know I'm not famous, but at my shows, after years of gathering up songs, I printed out a list of 100 songs and handed it out to the audience. Or sometimes I would keep the list on stage with me but ask the audience to yell out a number. It was incredibly fun.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not, but it seems obvious to me that any odd assortment of Morrissey songs would be "perfection." I think this current setlist has a lot of great stuff. But so did older setlists. And so would hypothetical setlists that any one of us fans can fantasize about...
I agree. And more than that: wouldn't an artist WANT to do different songs, at least a few, every night? Isn't that more fun? Isn't music supposed to be fun? When I played shows I would do vastly different setlists all the time, partly to challenge myself, and partly because my friends who kept...
This is absolutely absurd. Of course concerts are meant to be attended night after night. Every single person I know does this, and if someone is a fan of an artist it's completely normal to want to see them when they're doing a run in your city. Every time I have seen a band do this, the band...
I once asked a Trekkie friend of mine why Star Trek fans seem to hate Star Trek. His response:
"Exactly. Star Trek fans hate Star Trek."
I always think that about Morrissey fans around here.
Shush. I freaked out when I saw him a few months back and he played The Loop. One of my favorite songs. I actually would be in heaven if Morrissey only played b-sides.
But I agree in the sense that he should change his setlist when playing over and over again in the same city.
Oh my god. I was on set for days with Chloe Sevigny on a TV show being filmed. I wanted to talk to her about Morrissey so bad but it would have been very unprofessional. Love her.
